THIS HOUSE
HAS LIONS

Punk classics reimagined through a jazz lens, plus original compositions. New LP out this year.

About

The Band

This House Has Lions is Jason Malmberg's original music project — a band that refuses to pick a lane. Jazz harmony, punk energy, and a relentless low-end presence.

The band released their debut album a couple of years ago and are set to drop a new record this year. Expect evolution. Expect volume. Expect something that doesn't sit still.

Influenced by the workshop mentality of Charles Mingus, the righteous noise of Fugazi, and the boundary-obliterating spirit of Roland Kirk.
